Last minute 4 day fishing to one of my favourite Vic coastal freecamps at Corringle Victoria. A truly beautiful Parks Vic bush freecamp on the water front of the majestic Snowy on the opposite side to the small seaside town of Marlo. Marlo is where the Snowy River flows into the sea at the Ninety Mile Beach and is a camping, fishing, boating haven. If thats not enough, a short walk over the dune directly behind the campground is the surf of the Ninety Mile Beach.

Pulling apart the roof hatch and cleaning the filthy sliding fly / bug screen mesh. Horizontal sliding screens in the roof hatch are awesome for airflow, but their also a perfect trampoline and filter catchment device for bugs, flys, ants, leaves, sticks, possums (believe it or not) and whatever else falls straight unto it from the completely unobscured pathway south from the sky above.
